This isn’t from the list of 100 things to draw when you’re bored, in case you’re looking for it. I ended up drawing a grizzlicorn because one of my coworkers asked for it.

Perhaps you are asking why would he ask for such a thing. It’s because he saw me doodling during a meeting one time but he couldn’t quite see what I was drawing. I was drawing a shark (of course). For some reason, he thought I was drawing a butterfly. And when it came out that he thought I was drawing a butterfly, he was ridiculed by our other coworkers and me. He obviously doesn’t know me terribly well.

Later that day, I decided to draw him a shark with butterfly wings instead of fins. And I did so. On a post it. Which is why I didn’t post it (hehehehe) first. I have a photo of it, but I gave the post it to him so I can’t scan it. Maybe I’ll draw a shark with butterfly wings some other time and post it (hahahahaha).

Now then, my coworker rather liked the shark with butterfly wings and asked if I could draw a grizzly with a unicorn horn. He thought it would be ridiculous because grizzlies are fearsome animals and it would be funny to put a unicorn horn on one of them. Little did he know that I was thinking more of a derpy grizzly as opposed to a fierce grizzly.

As for the name of this thing, my coworker kept calling it a grizzly-unicorn, which I thought was unwieldy. So I shorted it to grizzlicorn, which he liked. But later, a friend pointed out to me that a grizzlicorn would be something right out of one of my favorite indie comics, Axe Cop. And then I realized that a unigrizzly would also fit in pretty well in Bearmaggedon, another one of my favorite indie comics. OMG! I NEED TO ASK IF MY COWORKER READS AXE COP AND BEARMAGGEDON!!

Sorry, I don’t have it together, so it’s a post with sharks. Which means it’s a filler. Because apparently I associate filler posts with sharks. I…dunno.

Anyway, the above comic is a Maximumble comic drawn by Chris Hallbeck, who is also the creator of The Book of Biff and Minimumble. I am very fond of these webcomics. Not in the same way as Axe Cop or Dr. McNinja, as they are more like long-form, storytelling comics. The Book of Biff, Maximumble, and Minimumble are more like the haha, funny comics. Not that the other two can’t be funny.

ANYWAY.

I like the way Chris Hallbeck draws sharks. They look so sharky. And they’re drawn cleanly and simply. I would like to be able to draw sharks like that. Especially since he often puts sharks in weird positions. Here are some more of his comics involving sharks.
